Found 24th Mar 2008Found 24th Mar 2008

A Great website to feed the 3rd world and also to get better at your literacy skills!

About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds, Unfortunately, it is children who die most often.

always good to help out. its a shame reading so many people die from food hunger. really sad to read and even sadder to imagine if you lived there. anyway voted hot:thumbsup:

Didn't think so.

I'm sorry, but while there are people old and young dying in our own country, some of which may well have survived with a little of our own help, well then I cannot find it within myself to help those outside it.

Does it really matter country is being helped? If there are people out there dying and in need of help, and all we have to do is play a little game to help them, then there is no excuse to not help them. How would you like it if you were in desperate need of help and people from another country could help you but chose not to?

Thats not my point. What I was trying to say was why do we feel that others outside of our country are more deserving than those already in it? And don't say that we don't think this way, because we do. We vote with out wallets providing aid and help to others all over the world, admittedly others that are dying from illness, malnutrition and exposure, yet at the same time there are people old and young in this very country dying of the same problems yet get to see little of that same cash.

To me it does matter, it seems we (as in the people and the media) are all for bailing out others when our own people (i.e those living in this country) are in need themselves.

All of which goes back to the point of there not being a website that offers the same food for those who are going hungry in England tonight.

That I cannot understand.

to the last few posts- our government is rich enough to feed every single child and old person in the uk. yet we waste money on wars instead. many other countries are just economically poor and can not help thier people so hence it is those countries that need the most help. Also- a hungry child, hungry old man or woman is still hungry, no matter what country they are from. So race etc should not even be a question.:)
